AEG 8000 Series Powercare - Unboxing, installation & setup
This is an AEG 8000 Series Powercare washing machine that my partner and I bought to test out a couple of months ago - in this video you can see the unboxing and installation.
We both have always liked AEG and Zanussi/Electrolux as brands so thought we would try out a newer model. We bought it aware that the quality etc may not be as good as it was, but we are impressed so far with how it works.
It really is a great performing machine, the ÖKOMix system is great and the cycle times are really decent, even on full length. The flexibility of cycles is great, and there is also a good selection on the app. Rinsing and spinning is particularly good despite only being a 1400 machine. The only downside is that it is a bit noisier than the Siemens and Miele when spinning.
We had this installed in the utility for a while before the new Siemens, and it’s now moved to its permanent home besides the Miele in the outhouse.
The full model number of this machine is LFR84146UC.

Thanks Mike :). It’s a good flexible machine - plenty more videos to come :). It’s a weird hybrid between PEX and rubber - but it’s a really thin bore, which makes for a quieter but slower fill.
Wonderful

Would you recommend AEG over Bosch? I had considered their Bosch Series 6 9KG washer and matching dryer, not been sure about AEG after last bad experience a few years back.
I found very difficult to undo the upper transit bolt & it was stuck in after the bolt was removed. Took me ages to prize the rubber out. Yours was a bit of tugging but mine was well and truly stuck and came out in pieces which did fix back together. Nevertheless it was a half hour job and hurt my fingers.
i prefer this to the Siemens, best of luck with both😊

Thank you! I like them equally, though I would prefer it if AEG did a 1600 in more than 8kg in the new range here 😊

would you record an overview of the shows in the app? please 🥺
the 7000 washer dryer has the new leak detection hose with a huge block where it goes on the water tap. Because of that I had to make a new hole in front of the sink unit back support. You're meant to pour 2 litres of water in most models prior to starting up to clear any debris in the system so please read instructions folks.
Lovely machine, how would compare it with similar priced machines also I notice you have a Miele undercounter dridge or freezer. I was thinking of getting the same, would you recommend them.

Hi, thanks for your comment :). It’s a good all rounder machine and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending one. The Miele fridge is ok, but I would personally just get the Liebherr one as it’s cheaper and offers electronic control rather than manual. We have a Liebherr undercounter freezer as Miele don’t do frost free and that’s good. I would much prefer a standard upright fridge/freezer though, I don’t like having to bend down to look in the fridge.
Is it better than bosch-siemens?

Hello! In the user manual it tells that you should wait at least six hours after you have laid it down to turn it on. There was a reason which I can’t recall right now! Could you include it as a note in the video? Excellent video ❤

Nice machine, I dont think I've ever unboxed a machine that's arrived with a spanner for its own transit bolts other than the Miele. Sorry I also never replied to your whatsapp!

Thanks! They’re not bad for what they are. The LG came with a spanner too! It’s a nice touch, when I installed the original Siemens I had to go to Wickes mid install to get a spanner kit as all my tools were back at the garage 😂
